I was so sorry to learn of Sandy’s passing. I worked with her many years ago at RCA and enjoyed her quick wit and humor. I thought of her during the years and hoped her life was going well. I will interject a bit of humor here. One time around Christmas some co-workers wanted to sing carols and suggested Joy to the World at which point Sandy and I belted out the alternate version that began with Jerimiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine, etc. So when I hear that song I always think of Sandy.
I am very sorry to here this. I graduated with Sandee. She was such a sweet and kind person. Peace and comfort to the family
